Why read it?

1 author picked Beauty and the Beak as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

A wounded bald eagle getting a new beak made from a 3D printer—what’s not to love?! This is a great story of wildlife rehabilitation and ingenuity that’s sure to suck kids in. And while I’m usually more drawn to illustrated books, the photos in this book bring the reality of this story to life in the way only photos can. It’s such a compelling true tale, which will help kids grow more compassion and curiosity for our feathered friends.

From Meeg's list on nonfiction on helping wildlife.
